greater pyro actually needs to be buffed.
think about it.
its a 4 second cast and it doesnt even hit as hard as an eviscerate.
it can be LoSd
and its very hard to land.
sure… a mage can frost nova you, poly you, shimmer to you, dragons breath you in order to setup the gpie… but those are insanely hard to land because you need tremendous amount of aim to do so.
should honestly do 100% of targets max hp. its simply way too hard to land

There’s really only 3 possible solutions to fix gpyro:
- Remove it
- Add a cooldown, or reduce damage on it to 20-25% and keep current cast time.
- Make the travel time on it extremely fast, maybe 1 second after cast is let go it should hit, no matter how far away. The slow travel time is what let’s a mage cast it on a poly/ring/stun target and get a 2nd one off with shimmer so they both land at the same time before it breaks the CC. That’s 70% hp, then followed with LOL combust/Fireblast spam because for some reason those are off the GCD when no other classes have damage/burst cooldowns off the GCD.

Greater mana burn: Instantly burn 20% of the targets mana. Disc fixed?
Percentage based damage abilities are a cancer to this game. Remove it.
The only redeeming thing about greater pyroblast is that it shreks tank spec goobers
These are acceptable

Wait I like…actually really really like this proposed change. Buff it to 40% (so it’s tuned around target being at say 85% health) and I say go for it?
The best solution to gpyro is to make fire mage do ANY kind of dmg outside of combustion so it would be more worth it to use your normal spells instead of relying on greater pyro for dmg. Notice how not a single mage was playing it in Legion despite no changes?
What other class has a giant nuke that can be spammed with no resource or cooldown?
If Gpyro existed in pve it would have a resource cost, or at least a 30-45 second cooldown.
The thing I really hate about fire mage and destro is that if you kick a poly/fear then you’re going to eat the nuke. If you kick the nuke, then you’re eating the CC + the nuke. There’s not much penalty for them either way.
There are so many potential changes for so many specs that would make pvp better…it’s just gotten way out of hand now.

Not true for destro, though. Kick CB and its over with casting. Fun just jumping around not able to do anything.
And therein lies another added solution: Make Gpie chaos damage, so when the mage gets kicked on it, he’s locked on everything.

It’s just as true for destro. There are too many unavoidable ways to get off an overpowered combo for both of them.
Greatest Pyroblast
123% of base mana
6.9 sec cast
Requires Mage (Fire)
Requires level 420
Hurl a fu cking meteor that of the size that killed all the dinosaurs that deals up to 100% of every fu cking player’s health in the entire game, and also deletes the game.

yea, that’s not true at all… if you kick destro on Chaos Bolt they can’t cc… they’re locked from all schools of magic.
Same thing needs to be done with Fire Mage… instead of dicking with all this nerf talk or removal talk, let’s just make it where if you lock Gpy then the mage can’t polymorph either.
There you figured it out…
New name: Runefire blast
Cast time: 4.0
Schools of magic: Fire, Arcane, Frost.
Damage: No changes
Cooldown: 5 seconds, reduced by haste.
Buff it by 20% but now has a 5 seconds cast time.
Jesus christ… no. Just no. If you really compare Mage’s potential to get off his combos to destro then no one can help your logic. Not only can’t I shimmer myself away to secure the cast (or around pillars for that matter) I also can never use CB to fake cast. You just don’t. And as long as the melee plays the mindgames with you, you can NEVER sneak in a CB as long as they have their kick still up.
Just like every dumpster mage is currently playing fire because it’s downs friendly, every dumpster mage was playing arcane in Legion.
